About product

Air intakes for the Sea Vixen, 1:48 scale

A set of replacement air intakes for a model of the British carrier-based Sea Vixen aircraft in the configuration designated FAW.9, 1:48 scale. This is not a kit but a finished replacement part that is fitted in place of the parts from the box.

What the set solves

Air intakes are one of the places where injection-molded plastic runs into its limits. The lip has to be as thin as possible and the duct behind it as deep as possible, yet both at once are hard to get out of a split mold. The result is usually a thick lip and a shallow opening you can see straight through. The replacement part solves both at once, because it is made as a single piece and both the lip and the inner wall come out right from the start.

Building and painting tips

  • The parts are not polystyrene, so ordinary modeling cement has no effect on them; they are bonded with super glue.
  • Cut surplus material and production marks away with a sharp blade a little away from the part and carefully sand the rest down.
  • Before painting, wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry thoroughly.
  • Fit them dry before the fuselage halves go together and fill any gap with putty.
  • Paint the inside of the duct before you glue the part in place; afterwards a brush will not reach in there.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Sea Vixen in 1:48 scale and want their air intakes sharp and without a visible wall thickness. The set is small, but working with it takes only a moment and it shows on the finished model. The manufacturer gives the exact contents and the fitting procedure in the enclosed instructions.

The package holds only the replacement air intakes. The model, paints, putty and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

It is intended for a Sea Vixen model in 1:48 scale in the configuration designated FAW.9. Fit the part dry first.

Super glue. They are not polystyrene, so ordinary modeling cement has no effect on them.

It is enough to cut off the surplus material, sand the surface and wash the part in lukewarm soapy water. Paint holds far better on a degreased surface.
